Man on a Mission (Silhouette Intimate Moments, No 1077)

Review: Back Cover description: WHO DO YOU TRUST? No one would meet Mark Delaney's eyes. After a devastating brush with death, he had changed dramatically--and done so with one purpose in mind. He had a killer to catch and could no longer trust his own family. But one woman dared to look beyond his facade. April Cartwright, newly hired by the Delaneys, sought to know the real Mark. But the loner knew he had to resist. A murderer was in their midst, and if Mark succumbed to the sweet promises April offered, his mission would put them both in deadly peril. And he would not risk her innocent life--even at the cost of his own!

The description leaves out the fact that Mark pretends to be brain damaged after the attack. April befriends him. It is only after she finds out that he is OK that their relationship changes. She has a young son and this is a job she needs. The story was different in that the hero doesn't get amnesia from the head trauma. Mark's family is not happy about what they have to do to save the ranch. I guess this is a series--DELANEY HEIRS--but this is the first of the books I've read. Not bad, but not too much tension either.

Review: Man on a Mission(Silhouette Intimate Moments, 1077) The Delaney Heirs

by Carla Cassidy

Following an attempt on his life, a cowboy can?t trust anyone, not even his own family. He feigns brain damage while trying to uncover the truth. That would have worked, if it weren?t for the ranch?s new activity director and her young son, who make him want to reveal his secrets. Carla Cassidy nicely sets the stage for a new series, The Delaney Heirs.
